FAQ
Generally, you don't report contributions to your 403(b) account (except Roth contributions) on your tax return. Your employer will report contributions on your 2023 Form W-2.
403(b) Plans and Federal Pension Law Nearly all private sector pension plans are governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA; P.L. 93-406), which is enforced by the Department of the Treasury, the Department of Labor (DOL), and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC).
Active enforcement activities include investigations, lawsuits, and the dissemination of information. Documents published by EBSA include the Reporting and Disclosure Guide for Employee Benefit Plans.
All 403(b) plans are subject to Title I of ERISA unless an exemption applies.
All private employers and employee organizations, such as unions, that offer health plans to employees have to follow ERISA. Only churches and government groups are exempt. If you offer your employees health coverage, you'll have to follow certain rules and procedures as a result of ERISA.
Under the ACA, employers with a certain number of employees must offer affordable health insurance coverage to their eligible employees. ERISA provides the framework for employers to meet these obligations, ensuring that employers properly administer health benefit plans and adhere to the ACA's coverage requirements.
A common rule of thumb is any employer that offers a group-sponsored health plan must comply with the ERISA notice and disclosure, and possibly, reporting requirements unless an exemption applies.
Basic ERISA compliance requires employers provide notice to participants about plan information, their rights under the plan, and how the plan is funded. This includes ensuring plans comply with ERISA's minimum standards, recordkeeping, annual filing and reporting, and fiduciary compliance.
403(b) plans that are subject to ERISA must comply with DOL regulations, which may include obtaining an employee identification number (EIN) for the plan. Governmental, non-electing church and other 403(b) plans that meet the safe-harbor requirements under the DOL regulations are not subject to ERISA.
It just depends on the type of plan. Government and public education 403(b) plans are exempt from ERISA. 403(b) plans sponsored by 501(c)(3) organizations (such as tax-exempt hospitals and charitable organizations) are generally subject to ERISA but may choose non-ERISA if they meet specific requirements.
